A digital image of a map of Barbados created in June 1825 from a trigonometrical survey of the island conducted by Captain F. Barrallier of the 25th Light Dragoons. After leaving London but before settling in Jamaica, Lyon first settled in Barbados.
Lyon often mentioned Paris, as it was the place to go for him to acquire his goods for his business. He often disliked the travel, primarily because of the poor weather. He also disliked it because his brother James often prodded him to go, and these meetings for the goods that James would set up were ill-received by the distributors. Lyon also didn't understand or participate in the culture well enough to feel welcome.
